## Detailed Description

Class that stores power levels (in dBm) at various gains, frequencies, and temperatures.

This container class is suitable for all cases where devices want to store a gain-to-power mapping from a single, overall gain value.

The underlying data structure stores the power level for every gain/frequency point that is part of this data set. It can also do a reverse look-up of gain values for a given power value.

The interpolation algorithms assume a monotonic gain/power profile, i.e., f(gain) = power is monotonically increasing. If the power is not monotonically increasing, the interpolation algorithms still work, but get_gain() might produce a greater than necessary interpolation error. For that case, this class provides get_gain_coerced(), which helps with both coercion of the interpolated gain into a gain value that can be used at the call site, as well as minimizing the effect on the application using this container.

All interpolation algorithms first interpolate temperature by finding the nearest available temperature data. For example, if the data set includes calibration data for 40C and 50C, and the actual temperature is measured at 48C, then the data set for 50C is used, and the data set for 40C is not considered at all. Within a data set, frequency and gain are interpolated in two dimensions (the same is true for frequency and power for get_gain() and get_gain_coerced()) using a bilinear interpolation.

## Member Typedef Documentation

## ◆ sptr

using uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::sptr = std::shared_ptr<pwr_cal>

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ add_power_table()

virtual void uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::add_power_table | ( | const std::map< double, double > & | gain_power_map,
|  | const double | min_power,
|  | const double | max_power,
|  | const double | freq,
|  | const boost::optional< int > | temperature = boost::none )
| pure virtual

Add or update a power level data point

Note: Power measurements can only be written atomically. It is not possible to add individual gain/power points using this method.

Parameters

  gain_power_map | A mapping gain -> power (dB -> dBm) for all measured gain points for this frequency.
  min_power | The minimum available power for this frequency.
  max_power | The maximum available power for this frequency.
  freq | The frequency at which this power level was measured
  temperature | The temperature at which this power level was measured, in Celsius. This parameter is optional, the return value for get_temperature() is used if no temperature is provided here.

## ◆ clear()

virtual void uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::clear | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Clear all stored values

Note: All of the getters will throw a uhd::assertion_error if called after clearing the data.

## ◆ get_gain()

virtual double uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::get_gain | ( | const double | power_dbm,
|  | const double | freq,
|  | const boost::optional< int > | temperature = boost::none ) const
| pure virtual

Look up a gain value from a power value.

This is the reverse function to get_power(). Like get_power(), it will interpolate in two dimensions (linearly) if the requested power value is not part of the measurement data.

Note: `power_dbm` is coerced into the available power range using get_power_limits().

Parameters

  power_dbm | The power (in dBm) at which we are getting the gain value for
  freq | The frequency at which we are finding the gain
  temperature | The temperature at which we are finding the gain. If none is given, uses the current default temperature (see set_temperature()).

## ◆ get_power()

virtual double uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::get_power | ( | const double | gain,
|  | const double | freq,
|  | const boost::optional< int > | temperature = boost::none ) const
| pure virtual

Returns the power at a gain value.

This will interpolate from the given data set to obtain a power value if gain and frequency are not exactly within the given data set.

Parameters

  gain | The gain at which we are checking the power
  freq | The frequency at which we are checking the power
  temperature | The temperature at which we are checking the power. If none is given, uses the current default temperature (see set_temperature()).

## ◆ get_power_limits()

virtual uhd::meta_range_t uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::get_power_limits | ( | const double | freq,
|  | const boost::optional< int > | temperature = boost::none ) const
| pure virtual

Return the min and max power available for this frequency

## ◆ get_ref_gain()

virtual double uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::get_ref_gain | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Return the current reference gain point.

Currently unused.

## ◆ get_temperature()

virtual int uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::get_temperature | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Return the current default temperature.

## ◆ make() [1/2]

sptr uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::make | ( |  | ) |
| static

Default factory.

## ◆ make() [2/2]

sptr uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::make | ( | const std::string & | name,
|  | const std::string & | serial,
|  | const uint64_t | timestamp )
| static

Factory for new cal data sets.

## ◆ set_ref_gain()

virtual void uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::set_ref_gain | ( | const double | gain | ) |
| pure virtual

Set the reference gain point, i.e., the gain value where by definition the difference between linearized power and measured power is zero.

Currently unused.

## ◆ set_temperature()

virtual void uhd::usrp::cal::pwr_cal::set_temperature | ( | const int | temperature | ) |
| pure virtual

Set the current default temperature

Some of the API calls have a optional temperature argument. However, in practice, it is often useful to set an ambient temperature once, or only when it has changed, and then use a default temperature instead of providing the temperature on every call. This sets the default temperature.
